Sorry for the delay as we did not have any internet in Atlanta.
Andrew had a great time at Road Atlanta last week where he qualified 3rd and raced to a 4th place finish.
The car was pretty good but we did suffer from a general overall lack of grip. Team MER did finish with 3 cars in the top 4 so it was a great team weekend with Jason Saini leading the championship points.
After 2 rounds of racing, Andrew sits 8th in points.
We are all learning a lot about the Mazda MX5 Cup cars and especially the area of the ZF Sachs adjustable shock absorbers. This is an area that we (Andrew!) still need to learn more about so we can get our car fine tuned for the track and Andrews driving style.
The next race is at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca in California, another classic road course that we have been looking forward to racing at!
Here is the tentative schedule for the event:
Thurs, May 17th – Promoters Test Day
Fri, May 18th – Practice: 11:40am – Noon
– Practice: 4:30pm – 5:00pm
Sat, May 19th – Qualifying: 8:00am – 8:20am
Sun, May 20th – Race: 4:00pm – 4:45pm
All times are Pacific time
